Go broke doing so. Just a handful of people will actually buy these. The rest will want them super cheap. A guy on FB had the screw on Holley bowl repo'd. CNC machined. 100% actual of the originals . Wanted $80 set.. I think he ended up just selling 10-15 sets and had a huge amount of money outlayed to have hundreds made up.
Here is what I posted some years back. "I seriously checked into having these scoops made from my green NOS NP scoop. For starters the plexiglass was 1/4 thick (but when vacuum formed went to 3/16)and several companies that I contacted that could vacuum form this thickness wanted something like $300-350 each and that was not covering the material which is very expensive in 1/4 form. They also wanted to do something like 75-100 minimum because these companies do 500-2000 vf's per day and did not want to stop their lines.
$400 fixed cost times 100 = $40,000 outlay. Like the old saying "Get Woke, Go broke"
The prices qouted was back in 2002??
at $500-550-600 each I bet you might sell 12-15 tops.
